New Product import fields are being added with each major Plugin update and regular minor Plugin updates add new import fields ready to be included in imports.

Why use Product Importer Deluxe?

Product Importer Deluxe can generate new Products and/or merge changes against existing Products with live and post-import reporting. Product details assigned to Products within the CSV file are all generated at import time making setting up your next store’s Products a simple one-step import process.

To make store migrations even easier we include free licenses of our popular export Plugin Store Exporter Deluxe so you can immediately export Products from existing WooCommerce store’s ensuring import compatibility.

This Plugin, alongside Store Exporter Deluxe, is the linch pin of our website stock management. Every single custom use-case scenario anyone could have, I have encountered and Michael and his team have been nothing but incredible with their support.

I've used this for years and as my review from a year ago said, I couldn't recommend it more vehemently.

Great work guys, on the Plugin and the support.

Great Plugin that helps exporting and importing large amounts of Products - in particular Michael offers perfect support for implementing also new features to the Plugin, like in my case export and import of per-product add-ons of the WooCommerce Product Add-ons Plugin.
You can see the result in www.tranet.eu

Love this plugin, it's saved me massive amounts of time in analysing data and doing mass product updates. Michael is very attentive and quick to resolve any issues if there are any.

We use Product Importer Deluxe everyday and rely heavily on it working well every time for syncing data, stock, etc across our marketplaces. To date it's not let us down and Michael is super fast and helpful whenever we need help. This is a great tool standalone or better still with Store Exporter Deluxe. Buy it and be happy!

This Plugin makes the product import process clean & simple. I'm a novice however I had no problems uploading 8,000+ Products complete with images and custom meta data using the Plugin's simple interface. I can't speak highly enough of my experience using this product!

Support is insanely good and Michael solved a bizarre FTP issue quickly, efficiently and professionally.

I have to be honest - I use WPAllImport a lot and only came across Visser b/c WPAI doesn't support import via FTP. Now that I've seen what it can do and the quality of support, It's going right into my 'highly recommended' bin!

I love this Plugin! Easy to use and helpful documentation.

And also, good support and quick response. I had a problem with some parts of the process of importing, but after I asked Michael, he solved my problem right away.

Thanks!

We tried out several product import Plugins and WC Product Importer Deluxe is by far the best. Michael was/is extremely helpful in assisting us with minor problems in our data. He responds quickly and is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this product.

Tim

Just wanted to say that I've tried one or two other import / export plugins for WC but Product Importer Deluxe is by far the best, particularly as it also comes with a license for Store Exporter Deluxe. I've found it very simple to use. It works with minimal configuration and it's saved me a huge amount of time. I must also add that Michael has been incredibly helpful too. Recommended.

Michael: Now that I have had the benefit of your great products and incredible support for 12 months, I want to tell you that I love your Plugins and your help has been tremendous. This is an absolutely essential Plugin for us.

Hello, iv been first using your plug in since it was first developed. I have 22 woocommerce stores with over 10,000 products a store. So i have a lot of importing to do. Once woocommerce came out with their own i started using theirs but its been no where as good as yours. With their plug in i can only import upto 50 products at a time and i keep getting duplicates that drive me annoying. I have to convert 1' 9MB excel file into 1,000 excel files. With your plug in i just keep importing the same excel file and it keeps importing without any doubles. Your picture placing is easier and i like your excel format. Its so much better than Woo's and i have so much to import. Thank you for your work and keep it coming :)

Any updates on the timeframe of when you will include the ability to mass upload an individual wholesale (using your wholesale pricing module) price for each product?

Hi Lucas, Custom Fields are not yet supported within the merge feature which would explain why they’re not updating. I’ll get this sorted in the next Plugin update, there’s been another batch of cool changes. 🙂

Hi David and Andrew, Product variations are not yet supported, I’ll be introducing this feature in the new year. It’s been on my todo list for some time but has needed a whole overhaul in the way Products are processed by the importer which makes this now possible. 🙂

Hi t-racer, I’ll need to update those screenshots as they’re causing some confusing since integrating the Product importer under Tools > Import, I’m putting a post together now explaining that the Categories importer step has been merged into the Products importer so now you don’t need to separately import Categories and then Products. 🙂

Thanks Michael. That’s a tad confusing. Would make more sense under Products I’d reckon seeing as that’s where you go to add products…

Anyway, I found it and tried the import, got the success message but there’s no products. I checked in phpMyAdmin as well and there’s nothing. Pretty sure my spreadsheet is fine as I downloaded the sample one then modified it. Any ideas?

Also, when importing (I think this may be the problem) it can’t seem to tell when the rows start and end. So when assigning columns it has all the header row data then all the other rows following, wanting to assign columns to them. As I said, I used your sample spreadsheet as a template so I don’t think I have any weird formatting in my spreadsheet.

hello there.. i already purchased this awesome plugin but my customer asks wpml support to their website.. and they have 567 items 🙂 i already have 4 different language in the excel file in the individual tabs.. my questions are:

1. is this plugin supports wpml with e-commerce?
2. is it possible to share new csv template for wpml support if it is yes for the Q#1

Hi flayzeraynx, good timing. WPML support will be included in the next Plugin update shipping shortly. I’ll be putting together a tutorial to explain how to format your CSV file to support this, basically though set a column for each Product title and description (e.g. Product Name – English, Product Name – French, Product Name – Italian, etc.). We’ll be building this out further in future Plugin updates. 🙂

Once support is introduced there will be no limit on language numbers, just as long as you’ve enabled your chosen languages within WPML they’ll tie into the importer and make additional column options available. 🙂

Hi,
I did my first product import last night. Some of the photos were not linked correctly and I had to upload new photos. I made some corrections to the CSV and re-imported however this time it will not link or update photos, it is completely ignoring them. How do I get this to import and link the product photos?

Hi Sarah, can you please confirm what import method you are using; whether it’s external URL or Image filename and that you’re following the import steps laid out in the Plugin’s readme.txt. Thanks Sarah. 🙂

I am selecting the option for image column in CSV on import and also the merge with existing product data option. I have followed the instructions in the readme.txt. What I am doing is exporting current products that don’t have photos (as CSV) and then adding the image column and importing using the above options. I have tried to save my CSV file as a new file.
I noticed there was an update to the plug in today and installed it. Still no photos on import.

When uploading items and merging new changes, I can’t get images to update, i.e. if I want to use a new image, I would change the image name in the CSV and upload the image, however the image doesn’t get updated. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

FYI – I can successfully load images for new items and I can upload changes for other fields successfully, just cant get the images to update via Product Importer Deluxe

If it turns out that I can’t update categories during a merge, perhaps I could upload more than one category during the initial item upload. Ultimately, I want the same item in two different categories, i.e. a brand page and a category page.

Hi Isabella, spinning this up now, please note though that the free version of AIOSEO does not have an interface for managing the Product’s SEO details; yet. I’ll make a small Plugin that adds a widget to the Add/Edit Products page to allow management of those imported Product meta details. 🙂

Hi Michael,
I posted in the forum about an issue I’m having with merging updates into existing products. Can you explain how it is supposed to work. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Either way I have not been able to update my products.

Hi Michael, thanks for offering AIOSEO pack integration. I am just looking for the sample spreadsheet you talk about. It appears the one listed at the top of the page is still for the older version.
What are the column titles we need for the DB entries? Thanks 🙂

ok, so it looks like I’ve figured it out. Thought I’d post it here for anyone else wondering how to do it. It was one of those things that was so simple, it was assumed, but not particularly clear to me at first.

Basically when you go Import>> upload your csv

and you get to the page where you see your csv’s ‘first row’ entries in a vertical column on the left and then in the ‘CSV-> Wp e-commerce’ column next to that on the right, each variable has a drop box.
THAT DROPBOX is where Michael has added the AIOSEO selections,
I was confused (as you may be) because I couldn’t immediately see those options (you have to scroll each one down). Also, in the past we’ve had to add these custom variables ourselves using the custom fields plugin. So I couldn’t work out what the titles needed to be in csv. These titles are what need to go in the first row of the csv file and their corresponding values in the csv column beneath.
All you need to do on import is SCROLL DOWN in these CSV -> WP ecommerce drop box options, then select the title that matches the column in your csv on the left of it.

BLAH! Although I found the dropboxes, I still can’t get it to work. I did a csv import, but I see no data being entered into the AIOSEO boxes in a product listing in WP admin and also when I go into phpmyadmin in cpanel to see whether it’s been entered into the DB, it’s not appearing – at least I can’t find it. Can you please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

getting closer…. that time it worked if I have no commas, just a single word in the csv cell….

Ok… just so im clear.

First, set up my cvs spreedsheet with all the categories and custom fields included.

During the import… your “product importer” will not only create the products.. but will also create the categories and custom fields associated with those products. No need to create the categories/custom fields “before the import”? correct?

So its probably a good idea to get rid of any existing categories/custom fields?

So, If the custom fields are created “during the import”… im assuming… that “after the import” would be the time to go in and format the “type of custom field” (text box, pulldown, etc)?

Hi Chuck, that’s mostly correct. You will need to create the Custom Fields prior to the import as this is not yet supported. I like you idea of importing them as generic custom fields initially.

You use the Product Categories option within Tools > Import to use your CSV file to generate the Category structure, then the Products option to import the Products and populate the WordPress database. 🙂

I have more than 250 products migrating from another store. Each one of those products have custom fields. Question: Once my custom fields are set up with your “Custom Fields for WP e-Commerce product”…… Does “Product Importer Deluxe” populate those custom fields with the info from each product? If not… I would have to go into each product.. and manually enter the info for each custom field??? ughh.

Hi Chuck, Custom Fields support is ready to go in Product Importer Deluxe. Just create an additional column in your CSV (e.g. Material or Classification) and populate that column just like the rest, Product Importer Deluxe will detect the Custom Field column and assign those details for you. I’ve made it as easy as possible to set up a new store in one hit.

My next mission is to get variations stable as I am well aware there’s demand for it but it’s a nightmare to impliment within a Plugin. I’ll be working on this as soon as the new site is up! 🙂

FAQ

Supported Product fields

Please see the Trello boards listed on the Roadmap tab of this page.

Am I entitled to future Plugin updates?

You sure are, you can always download the latest release of your purchased Plugin from My Account.

What are the required product fields within the CSV to be imported?

The minimum data requirements for importing new products are:

Product Name

The minimum data requirements for merging Product changes are:

SKU

We recommend providing as a minimum for an operating store the following Product fields:

SKU

Product Name

Category

Price

Quantity (for stock limited products)

What import methods are available?

Import new Products only

Import new Products and merge Product changes

Merge Product changes only

Do you have a sample master products CSV file for Product Importer Deluxe?

Can I link a Product to multiple Categories/Tags/Images, etc?

Sure can, just put a '|' (vertical pipe) character between each item, currently all of the above are supported. In a near future Plugin update multiple file downloads will also be included.

Can I declare sub-categories and establish parent-child relationships with the included Product Category Importer for WP e-Commerce?

Roger that, when declaring a child Category ensure you use place an '>' (arrow) character between the parent and child. With the release of 2.6.5 you can drill down up to 3 levels deep, for instance:

Clothes>Men>Casual within the Category column of your CSV file will link a Product to Clothes, Men (as a sub-Category of Clothes) and Casual (as before).

This Plugin bulk imports hundreds, even thousands of linked Products and Product images into WooCommerce.

See http://www.visser.com.au/woocommerce/plugins/product-importer-deluxe/

== Installation ==

1. Upload the folder 'woocommerce-product-importer-deluxe' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
2. Activate 'WooCommerce - Product Importer Deluxe' through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. You can now import Products by reading the below Usage section

== Usage ==

==== Uploading Products ====

1. Open WooCommerce > Product Importer
2. Using the file upload field select your CSV-formatted Product Catalog
3. Set the matching drop down value beside each corresponding column in your uploaded CSV file, this is usually selected automatically
4. If adding images, Under Step 3 – Import Options check 'Are you importing images?' to enable image import support then by selecting an option choose your image import method:
4.1. 'Assigned an image column in the CSV file' means you have a column in your CSV-formatted Product Catalog that has the filename of each product image (e.g. image-0001.jpg, camera-l4w2.jpg, etc.) and that you will be manually uploading your Product images and thumbnail via FTP or the Media Library uploader within the WordPress Administration

IMPORTANT NOTE: If following the 4.1 step above and would prefer to upload Product images via FTP, upload your Product images to /wp-content/uploads/%year%/%month%/, replacing %year% and %month% with the current year and month (e.g. June 4, 2011 is /2011/06/, etc.). If you are not using year/month-based Media ordering then ignore the date folders mentioned. Thumbnails are automatically generated

You must upload the Product images prior to importing Products.

5. You can now manage Products within WooCommerce

That's it!

==== Uploading Products as a CRON task ====

Product Importer Deluxe supports importing via a command line request, to do this you need to a specific URL and pass it the following required inline parameters:

- action: woo_pd-cron
- filename: sample.csv (replace with the CSV filename, the CSV must be uploaded to the Uploads directory within WordPress)
- gui: 1 (default: 0, adding this parameter will display an import report at the completion of the import, suited to debugging)
- merge: 1 (default: 0, adding this parameter will switch the import method to merge Product changes)
- advanced_log = 1 (default: 0, adding this parameter will include additional details in the import log when used in conjunction with the 'gui' parameter)
- key: N/A(*1)

(*1) Support for authorised key will be introduced in a future Plugin update.

1. Upload the CSV to be imported via CRON to the Uploads directory with your preferred FTP manager (defaults to /wp-content/uploads/).

2. Via terminal or your preferred CRON manager add the following URL:

http://www.domain.com/?action=woo_pd-cron&filename=sample.csv&merge=0
